There are too many podcasts about movies, but seemingly NONE about the places that house those things, the movie theaters! In Popcorn Restaurant, comedians Magi Calcagne, Brad Beideman and Jordan Wold visit and review every movie theater they can possibly visit, and they hardly ever get distracted.
We are so sad Arclight and Paciific Theaters won’t be reopening. Hear us memorialize them, as well as talk about some good times we had separately going to the movies recently! Also, Brad wrote the Oscars! Check it out!! https://twitter.com/BradBeideman/status/1380168357819858947
